“After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬ ‭ESV‬‬

There are moments when God calls us to lift our eyes above the noise, distractions, and pressures of this world.

The words “what must take place after this” remind us that God is always working beyond the season we are currently in. What comes after your current season may be an invitation into a deeper revelation of Gods plan and purpose for us.

What if today we paused long enough to look where Jesus is pointing instead of only at what’s happening around us?

The invitation is still the same: “Come up here.” God desires to draw us into His presence, where fear gives way to faith and confusion gives way to clarity.

This week, don’t just ask God to change your circumstances. Ask Him to change your perspective. Spend time in His presence and let heaven reshape the way you see everything else.

Holiday weekends have a way of reminding us to slow down and appreciate the people we’re blessed to share life with.

As you celebrate this Fourth of July, we hope you’ll also make time to join us on Sunday morning!

Join us this Sunday at 10:30 AM as we worship together, grow in God’s Word, and encourage one another. There’s always room for one more.

Have a safe and joyful holiday. We hope to see you Sunday!

As another week comes to a close, we’re looking forward to gathering together again!

To slow down.
To worship.
To hear from God’s Word.
To reconnect with people who are walking through life alongside us.

Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or you’ve been thinking about visiting for the first time, we’d love to welcome you this Sunday.

Join us June 7th at 10:30 AM.

We can’t wait to see you.

When things are uncomfortable, we can misinterpret an act of God as the enemy coming against our plans and purposes. We end up praying against the very thing that God has sent to save us from really bad consequences.

From the last message at The Gathering “Donkey talk”

Scripture focus:

“So Balaam rose in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab. Then God’s anger was aroused because he went, and the Angel of the Lord took His stand in the way as an adversary against him. And he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. Now the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand, and the donkey turned aside out of the way and went into the field. So Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back onto the road. Then the Angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, with a wall on this side and a wall on that side. And when the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord, she pushed herself against the wall and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall; so he struck her again. Then the Angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. And when the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam’s anger was aroused, and he struck the donkey with his staff. Then the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?” And Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have abused me. I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would kill you!” So the donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden, ever since I became yours, to this day? Was I ever disposed to do this to you?” And he said, “No.” Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand; and he bowed his head and fell flat on his face. And the Angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out to stand against you, because your way is perverse before Me. The donkey saw Me and turned aside from Me these three times. If she had not turned aside from Me, surely I would also have killed you by now, and let her live.””
‭‭Numbers‬ ‭22‬:‭21‬-‭33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This Sunday, May 17th at 10:30am at The Gathering!

Pastor John will be sharing a message called “Bring an Empty Vessel.” Sometimes all God asks of us is to simply come.

If you’ve been running on empty, carrying a lot, or just needing a place to reconnect and be refreshed, we’d love for you to join us.

And as always, we’ll share a meal together after service. Come hungry!
